Trump’s ‘bald power grab’ could set US on path to dictatorship, critics fear (www.theguardian.com)

Trump’s executive order stripped agencies of their independence by making them directly accountable to a part of the presidency: the office of management and budget (OMB). The OMB is led by Russell Vought, founder of the rightwing Center for Renewing America (CRA) thinktank and one of the primary authors of the Project 2025 plan for an authoritarian takeover of government.

Conservatives certainly didn't. They're stupid enough to think that what Musk and Trump are doing is Freedom™

They don't think about freedom around me. Most idiots I know are have a fetish for a dictatorship because they think they'll keep on living their redneck dream while getting pretty SS suits when the master takes all the power.

Ahh classic, the bigots don't realize that they’re the fuel for the horrific machine and will be disposed as soon as they’re no longer useful
